Wow...same here. I'm hoping it's due to not working and hoping things will return to normal when I go back to work next week I'm 12 days P.O.

Update....on gastric sleeve done 12/22/2015...stayed over night, and only felt nausea when i awaken from surgery, until they medicated me, plus had to get up and walk every 4 hours, Not too much problem getting in and out of bed, just due to the I.V. being in the way, no problems with walking as it did help gas pains. I felt like i could drink more but when i sipped two medicine cups i felt pain so stopped for 15 min. Everything was nasty to me but water..when my husband brought me home yesterday I needed a few items from grocery store that I knew he would prob forget so I went inside with him to get the exercise...lol, which was not bad at all. last night was the first night home and could not get protein shake down maybe 3oz..so will work on that today...still a few unwanted gas pains but able to move around...thinking of baking a cake for the Fam for Christmas...btw got 7 bandages and stomach looks swollen to me but I think that's normal but no leaking...bandages come off today when I shower and sterile strips fall off on their own.

Thx

finally got a confirmed date of 12/19, which is on a Sat, due to the Dr. trying to get everyone in before end of year, found out no pre-op diet for me because of BMI (only if BMI over 60) now the nervousness has set in.

me too ijustwant2bealoser...I really want that date but will settle for the 28th...it is driving me crazy not knowing cause I need to get my head right...lol

that is my tentative date, and I have been approved by UHC..just waiting to see if surgery scheduler keep the date for me, just my luck they are behind schedule cause the scheduler been on vacation..bummer...

I've been approved for gastric sleeve since 11/11/15, still no date for surgery because scheduler would not schedule until letter in hand, even though they could have gone online and looked and also called, well they finally received letter on Friday(so they say) called Monday to ask what was the hold up and she says "its on the schedulers desk and she will return Monday and hopefully will give you a call, things are very busy around here" duh....well of course they are; (end of year) I wanted to say why doesn't she have back up when she is out...so no one gets scheduled for surgery cause she's out, sorry not good management, cause I need a date and I need to know if I have to bring any money DOS (date of surgery), which they said will not know until they schedule, and seem to me like we wasting time, been almost two weeks now, and I already met deductible, and its almost black Friday and I cant spend money until I know how much I need for surgery...LOL (AGGRAVATING, NEEDED TO VENT)

Yes, Amy its ridiculous because I work in an office and hospital, and we don't depend on one person to do a job. I know u are happy about your date, my dummy date was 12/18, but she said don't rely on that, soooooo, the wait continues for me, good luck with your surgery.

My Dr office sent my paper work to UHC Choice plus also 11/04/2015.. called yesterday and said was approved I know the feeling..now I got to wait for the actual approval letter before I can get a surgery date..

I totally get the way you are feeling, I feel I can't be happy for my surgery for feeling some what guilty that my surgery will most likely be scheduled during the holiday season when I know we will be working short, but I do plan on filing for FMLA, but somehow I still feel some type of way, I guess I'm more loyal to my job than to myself, but I know that has to change.
